README.TXT    Readme file for the DOCTOR sample 
DOCTOR.IDL    Interface definition language file 
DOCTOR.ACF    Attribute configuration file 
DOCTORC.C     Client main program 
DOCTORS.C     Server main program 
DOCTORP.C     Remote procedures 
MAKEFILE      Nmake file to build for NT 
MAKEFILE.DOS  Nmake file to build for MS-DOS 
 
------------------------------------------- 
BUILDING CLIENT AND SERVER APPLICATIONS FOR 
MICROSOFT WINDOWS NT OR WINDOWS 95 
------------------------------------------- 
 
The following environment variables should be already set for you: 
 
  set CPU=i386 
  set INCLUDE=%SDKROOT%\h 
  set LIB=%SDKROOT%\lib 
  set PATH=%SDKROOT%\system32;%SDKROOT%\bin 
 
where %SDKROOT% is the root directory for the 32-bit Windows SDK. 
 
For mips, set CPU=mips 
For alpha, set CPU=alpha 
 
Build the sample distributed application: 
 
  nmake cleanall 
  nmake 
 
This builds the executable programs doctorc.exe 
(client) and doctors.exe (server). 
 
------------------------------------------ 
BUILDING THE CLIENT APPLICATION FOR MS-DOS 
------------------------------------------ 
 
After installing the Microsoft Visual C/C++ version 1.50 development 
environment and the 16-bit RPC SDK on a Windows NT or Windows 95 
computer, you can build the sample client application from Windows NT 
or Windows 95: 
 
  nmake -f makefile.dos cleanall 
  nmake -f makefile.dos 
 
This builds the client application doctorc.exe. 
 
You may also execute the Microsoft Visual C/C++ compiler under MS-DOS. 
This requires a two-step build process. 
 
  Step One: Compile the .IDL files under Windows NT or Windows 95: 
 
     nmake -a -f makefile.dos doctor.h 
 
  Step Two: Compile the C sources (stub and application) under MS-DOS: 
 
     nmake -f makefile.dos 
 
------------------------------------------ 
RUNNING THE CLIENT AND SERVER APPLICATIONS 
------------------------------------------ 
 
On the server, enter: 
 
  doctors 
 
On the client, enter: 
 
  net start workstation 
  doctorc 
 
Note: The client and server applications can run on 
the same Microsoft Windows NT computer when you use 
different screen groups. 
 
Several command line switches are available to change 
settings for this program. For a listing of the switches 
available from the client program, enter: 
 
  doctorc -? 
 
For a listing of switches available from the server 
program, enter: 
 
  doctors -?
